I have a problem with my Ballcock....?

When I turn on electric shower water tank drains until it is empty. Then suddenly shower dries up but motor keeps running not pumping any water out. Problem is ballcock won't kick in and start re-filling tank. If I reach in and give ballcock a nudge it starts filling again. Desperate - how do I fix..!?!! 10 points if it works....

Answers:
When the tank gets low the ball-**** should drop and allow the water to flow in. If it is stuck up you need to take the ball and lever out ,after turning off the water, then check for free movement and the state of the small washer inside the part where the water enters. The washers are easily obtainable in a hardware shop.
CALL PLUMBER !!!
If you caress it every so gently, or maybe lube it up, it might function the way you want it to. :)

I have a problem with my ballcock as well. It hurts when I pee.
so has my husband?
It is likely that some hard water deposits are causing it to hang up. You might be able to use some CLR or fine sandpaper to loosen it up.
sounds like a personal problem lol
gotta 'nudge' your ballcock daily, my friend.

don't neglect the ballcock, that's what I always say!
renew it
Modern ballcocks can be adjusted by screwing them so that the ball will rise earlier.I think (I've had a drop of wine and it's been a while since I played with a ball, ****, but that's based on a genuine memory).
check theres no water in the ball take it off and grease the arm check the bolts on the arm are't to tight..hope it works
TRY LOOKING FOR AN ADJUSTMENT, LIKE SEEING IF THE FLOAT CAN BE TURNED OUT,OR MYBE TRY TO CLEAN ANY SCUM OR HARDWARTER BUILD-UP OF BALLCOCK.
Haven't you got a missus for that sort of thing.
